I would add that this bugs affects me too.

I first wondered why there where such messages when I run glxgears :
"IRQ's not enabled, falling back to busy waits: 0 16"
and why the framerate was so low :
302 frames in 5.0 seconds = 60.332 FPS
295 frames in 5.0 seconds = 58.756 FPS

Then I discovered this thread and I must admit that the fullscreen videos from Youtube are also slow on my ATI All In Wonder 9800 Pro. I handled this problem by using the Compiz Zoom option. But it's not really the good way to resolve it, is it ?

There is my xorg.conf for my system (Intrepid Ibex, migrated from Hardy Heron)

Thanks in advance for looking into this bug.
